Definitions
- the present invention relates to a swab material that is inserted into a combustion tube provided in a total carbon measurement device.
- the TOC meter includes an inorganic carbon measurement device and a total carbon measurement device, whereby the total organic carbon (TOC) contained in a sample can be measured based on inorganic carbon (IC) measured by the inorganic carbon measurement device and total carbon (TC) measured by the total carbon measurement device.
- IC inorganic carbon
- TC total carbon
- the method of using HPLC is suitable for detecting a specific substance; however, the method of using a TOC meter is suitable for widely detecting an unexpected substance or an accidental contamination. Also, the method of using a TOC meter has an advantage of being suitable for screening because the measurement time is short.
- Methods of collecting a substance from a surface of an object after cleaning can be roughly classified into a rinse method and a swab method (wiping method).
- a swab method a certain area of the surface of the object such as a pharmaceutical facility is wiped off with use of the swab material, whereby the substance (adherent residue) adhering to the surface of the object is physically collected.
- the surface of the object is wiped off with use of a swab material formed, for example, from cloth or cotton, and the substance is extracted by immersing this swab material into pure water.
- the pure water in which the substance has been extracted is injected into a combustion tube and heated at a temperature of, for example, 900° C., so as to evaporate the pure water and burn the substance.
- Carbon dioxide that is generated during this process is detected with use of a detector, whereby the substance that has been collected as a substance can be detected based on the detection results.
- the surface of the object is wiped off with use of a swab material formed, for example, from a non-combustible fiber or the like, and this swab material is inserted into a combustion tube (for example, see Patent Document 1 below).
- a swab material formed, for example, from a non-combustible fiber or the like
- this swab material is inserted into a combustion tube (for example, see Patent Document 1 below).
- the collected substance burns, whereas the non-combustible swab material does not burn. Accordingly, only the carbon dioxide generated by combustion of the substance is detected by the detector, and the substance collected as the substance can be detected based on the detection results.
- This method has an advantage in that even a substance insoluble in water can be detected.

- a quartz glass cloth or the like is used as a conventional swab material.
- a swab material is used in which numerous fibers made of quartz glass are shaped as a non-woven cloth having a web form.
- the tip ends of the fibers constituting the non-woven cloth are liable to protrude from the surface, raising a fear that the surface of the object may be damaged by the tip ends of the fibers.
- the fibers constituting the non-woven cloth are prone to coming apart from each other, and the durability is low, thereby raising a problem in that the surroundings are prone to contamination by the loosened fibers.
- the present invention has been made in view of the aforementioned circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a swab material having a high durability in which a surface of an object is hardly damaged in collecting a substance from the surface of the object.
- a swab material according to the present invention is a swab material used for wiping off a surface of an object to collect a substance existing thereon, the swab material being inserted together with the collected substance into a combustion tube provided in a total carbon measurement device.
- the swab material includes a knitted body in which fibers formed from a heat-resistant inorganic material are knitted.
- the swab material is made of a knitted body, so that the tip ends of the fibers constituting the knitted body hardly protrude from the surface, and the fibers are not prone to coming apart from each other. Consequently, the surface of the object is hardly damaged when the substance is collected from the surface of the object, and high durability is obtained.
- the fibers constituting the knitted body are made of a heat-resistant inorganic material, so that the swab material can be thermally treated at a high temperature to remove the impurities that inherently adhere to the swab material before wiping off the surface of the object, and carbon dioxide is not generated from the swab material itself during the burning in the combustion tube. Accordingly, only the carbon dioxide generated from the substance that has been collected from the surface of the object can be detected, so that the detection accuracy can be improved.
- the knitted body has a melting point of 450° C. or higher.
- the swab material is not melted even when the swab material is thermally treated before the surface of the object is wiped off, provided that the temperature is at least lower than 450° C. Accordingly, thermal treatments on the knitted body can be effectively carried out, and the impurities that inherently adhere to the swab material can be effectively removed.
- the knitted body has an end surface folded back thereon.
- the knitted body has an end surface folded back thereon, so that the tip ends of the fibers constituting the knitted body hardly protrude from the ends of the knitted body. Consequently, the surface of the object is hardly damaged in collecting the substance from the surface of the object.
- the tip ends of the fibers constituting the knitted body hardly protrude from the surface, so that the surface of the object is hardly damaged in collecting the substance from the surface of the object. Also, according to the present invention, the fibers are not prone to coming apart from each other, and high durability is obtained, thereby making it possible to avoid a situation in which the fibers themselves are scattered around in an environment in which an experiment is carried out.

- FIG. 2 is a schematic enlarged view showing a part of the swab material 5 .
- the swab material 5 is made of a knitted body 50 in which numerous fibers 51 are knitted.
- Each fiber 51 is, for example, a heat-resistant glass fiber and is formed, for example, of a heat-resistant inorganic material such as a high silicate glass fiber. More specifically, each fiber 51 is formed of a high silicate glass fiber containing SiO 2 at 96% and having a heat resistance to ultrahigh temperature. This makes it possible to use each fiber 51 continuously at a high temperature of 1000° C. or more for a long period of time and is excellent in thermal durability, chemical stability, and electric insulation.
- the material of each fiber 51 is not particularly limited as long as the material is a heat-resistant inorganic material, and may be a material other than glass, such as ceramics; however, a material that is highly flexible and readily takes to water is preferred.
- Each fiber 51 constitutes a warp thread 511 or a weft thread 512 .
- the knitted body 50 is formed in such a manner that a plurality of warp threads 511 and a plurality of weft threads 512 are knitted perpendicularly to each other.
- the knitted body 50 may be formed by knitting individual fibers 51 or by bundling a plurality of fibers 51 and knitting the bundles with each other.
- the swab material 5 is made of the knitted body 50 , so that the tip ends of the fibers 51 constituting the knitted body 50 hardly protrude from the surface thereof, and the fibers 51 are not prone to coming apart from each other. Consequently, the surface of the object is hardly damaged when the substance is collected from the surface of the object, and high durability is obtained, as compared with a conventional swab material shaped to be a non-woven cloth.
- the fibers 51 constituting the knitted body 50 are made of a heat-resistant inorganic material, so that the swab material 5 can be thermally treated at a high temperature to remove the impurities that inherently adhere to the swab material 5 before wiping off the surface of the object, and carbon dioxide is not generated from the swab material 5 itself during the burning in the combustion tube 232 . Accordingly, only the carbon dioxide generated from the substance that has been collected from the surface of the object can be detected, so that the detection accuracy can be improved.
- the knitted body 50 has a melting point of 450° C. or higher.
- each fiber 51 constituting the knitted body 50 is formed of a material that does not melt at a temperature lower than 450° C.
- the swab material 5 is not melted even when the swab material 5 is thermally treated before the surface of the object is wiped off, provided that the temperature is at least lower than 450° C. Accordingly, thermal treatments on the knitted body 50 can be effectively carried out, and the impurities that inherently adhere to the swab material 5 can be effectively removed.
- FIGS. 3A to 3C are each a schematic perspective view showing a flow in forming the swab material 5 from a knitted body 50 .
- a swab material 5 such as shown in FIG. 3C is formed by using a knitted body 50 that has been formed to have a tubular shape by knitting each fiber 51 as shown in FIG. 3A .
- the knitted body 50 is formed by knitting a plurality of fibers 51 .
- the tip ends of the fibers 51 hardly protrude from a circumferential surface 52 thereof; however, there are cases in which the tip ends of the fibers 51 are liable to protrude from end surfaces (cut surfaces) 53 . Accordingly, in the present embodiment, the end surfaces 53 of the knitted body 50 are folded back.
- the two end surfaces 53 of the tubular knitted body 50 are folded back to the inside of the circumferential surface 52 (within the knitted body 50 ).
- the knitted body 50 has an elongated shape along the axial direction D, and the two end surfaces 53 in the axial direction D are folded back so as to prevent the end surfaces 53 from being exposed to the outside.
- the tubular knitted body 50 shown in FIG. 3A has an inner diameter of about 8 mm, an outer diameter of about 9.5 mm, and a length in the axial direction D of about 30 mm, and is folded back at a position of about 5 mm from each of the two end surfaces 53 .
- the knitted body 50 having the two end surfaces 53 folded back part of the two ends is stitched, as shown in FIG. 3C .
- a stopper 54 is formed at the two ends of the knitted body 50 , and the knitted body 50 is maintained in a state in which the two end surfaces 53 of the knitted body 50 are folded back, so that the two end surfaces 53 are prevented from being exposed to the outside.
- the fiber used in stitching the two ends of the knitted body 50 may be, for example, the same as the fiber 51 constituting the knitted body 50 .
- the stopper 54 is fixed by approximating the circumferential surface 52 of the knitted body 50 in a radial direction.
- the shape of the knitted body 50 as viewed in the axial direction D is like a figure of 8.
- one stopper 54 is provided at each of the two ends of the knitted body 50 ; however, the present invention is not limited to this, so that a plurality of stoppers 54 may be provided at each of the two ends.
- the knitted body 50 has the end surface 53 folded back thereon, so that the tip ends of the fibers 51 constituting the knitted body 50 hardly protrude from the ends of the knitted body 50 . Consequently, the surface of the object is hardly damaged in collecting the substance from the surface of the object.
- the configuration of the tubular knitted body 50 is not limited to one in which the stopper 54 is formed at the ends of the tubular knitted body 50 as shown in FIG. 3C , but may be one in which the stopper 54 is not formed.
- the sites of the end surfaces of the knitted body 50 can be reduced, thereby producing an effect that the tip ends of the fibers 51 constituting the knitted body 50 are further less likely to protrude from the surface.
- the shape of the swab material 5 is not limited to a tubular shape, so that the swab material 5 may be configured from a knitted body 50 having a different shape such as a band shape, a rope shape (for example, a braid shape), or a web shape.
- the knitted bodies in which fibers are knitted encompass knitted bodies in which fibers are knitted by any of the knitting methods such that the fibers are formed into one shape by being alternately combined with each other irrespective of the knitting methods.
- the swab material 5 may be formed by folding back the end surfaces of the knitted bodies 50 .
- the knitted body 50 may have a configuration in which the end surfaces of the knitted body 50 are not folded back but the fibers 51 are knitted so that the tip ends of the fibers 51 may not protrude from the end surfaces of the knitted body 50 .
- the swab material 5 with which the surface of the object has been wiped off is inserted into the combustion tube 232 provided in the total carbon measurement device 2 of the total organic carbon measurement device.
- the swab material 5 according to the present invention can be used by being inserted into the combustion tube 232 provided in the total carbon measurement device 2 even when only the total carbon measurement device 2 is separately configured or when the total carbon measurement device 2 is integrally configured with devices other than the inorganic carbon measurement device 1 .
- a swab material can be provided in which a plurality of fibers are placed by being arranged in parallel and the ends thereof are fixed to each other by being bound or the like.
- the plurality of fibers may be placed in a planar shape. In this manner, when the ends of the plurality of fibers are fixed to each other and bundled, it is possible to avoid a situation in which the fibers themselves are scattered around in an environment where experiments are carried out.
